Mail Theft

ATM Theft, Skimming

Thieves secretly attach electronic devices on an ATM to capture numbers when customers swipe their cards. This may include a tiny camera to record the PIN number a customer enters for the transaction. The skimming device may be taped over the card reader.

Inside Sources

A dishonest employee.

Imposters

An individual who fraudulently poses as someone who had a legitimate or legal reason to access the victim's personal information (e.g., landlord, an employer, marketer, etc.).

Direct Access to Personal Documents in the Home

Unfortunately, there are identity thieves who can gain legitimate access into someone's home and personal information through household work, babysitting, healthcare, friends or roommates, etc.

Purse/Wallet Theft

Stolen purses and wallets usually contain plenty of bankcards and personal identification. A thief can have a field day using this information to obtain credit under the victim's name or to sell the information to an organized-crime ring.
